Repetitious Lessons

Hi, it's me. If anyone still reads this, well, you're dedicated fan club I'd have given up by now.

I'll probably post more on my vacation about how things go (I was invited to comete in the National Fine Arts Competition for Assemblies of God churches). I may even post some stuff about school, pressure, witnessing, and the downside to being emo... as soon as I see what that's like....

But right now I have a different topic. I want to talk to you about repetitive lessons (I think I spelled that wrong, idk).

Don't hate it when your mom/dad tells you to do something over and over again? And when you get sick of it and blurt out, "OK! I GOT IT!" they always say, "If I don't remind you, you'll forget." That same thing can happen in your walk with God.

Lets's say your walking with Gdod and you stumble. God tels you what you hit and says, "look out for that hooker next time we go down Life Avenue." So go on and it happens again... and again... and again...

God keeps having to remind you of the trouble she's causeing and you keep having to say you're sorry. I have a feeling that God dislikes telling you to stop just as much as hate hearing mom and dad warn you like a broken record player.

There's a saying, it's "Live and Learn". Live life walking down Life Avenue (8,374,938 miles to go!) bump into that hooker and then Learn to say no.

"So what do we do? Keep on sinning so God can keep on forgiving? I should hope not! If we've left the country where sin is sovereign, how can we still live in our old house there? Or didn't you realize we packed up and left there for good? That is what happened in baptism. When we went under the water, we left the old country of sin behind; when we came up out of the water, we entered into the new country of grace—a new life in a new land"
